22- Practice, Living God in our Actions and Lives

An episode of Wisdom's Cry

Join the search for the voice of Wisdom through compassion, living God, and the four paths of Creation Spirituality. Through our love of Christ Jesus, we seek to bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and freedom to the captives, as we proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. God loves us all, no matter our race, creed, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

How do we find time to savor our lives in the hectic world? What does it mean to live? Are we all just searching for the experience of being alive? I tackle these questions and more on today's episode.

With bombs in the mail and a gunman in a synagogue, we need to have a serious discussion about what we can do to help this weary world. Let's talk through the Twelve Step to a Compassionate Life.

The Lorica is a prayer to start the day which centers us on the Four Paths while rejecting the Five Poisons and invoking the Five Powers/Strengths. The text of the prayer is on the Wisdom's Cry website: https://wisdomscry.com/lorica-of-creation-spirituality

The purpose of our faith is to reconcile people to God through compassion and justice. All of the rhetoric about "the other" is not only unhelpful, but is against the faith taught to us by Jesus Christ. We are meant to be peacemakers.
